OOTD: Profesionally White, Red Lips

This look is
so simple, but I do think it’s cute and chic enough to be featured in my blog. Lately
I’ve been attending events again, back to the real blogger life eh? I totally
miss that life, meeting new people, chit-chatting, but one thing for sure that I
hate the most from an event is…the dress code rule. Bah.

Especially
when the last two events I attended, asked for white dress code. I literally went to Zara FOUR TIMES last week, and carefully browsed every
Zara store in Surabaya just to find the perfect white clothes. Not to mention
the online stores & thrift ones as well…but I found nothing that suited my liking. White is not my thing, as I naturally
gravitate to black stuff whenever browsing in stores. So now you know how much
I struggle to find white pieces that I really like. Whites in my closet are
mostly basic shirts, slim-fit, super sleek – for work/business presentation
purposes.

As you
probably notice, my style is rather cute and simple. Picking trendy items like
culottes and robes are totally impossible for me. Those are things I honestly think
awesome, but I won’t even consider them as a choice for myself. It’s just not
me. Then I came to think about wearing one of those sleek white shirts for this
event. Why not going all white, looking professional and chic at the same time?
After all, I just found a cute pre-loved H&M shorts with nice crochet detail
in Carousell. After putting all the items together in my Polyvore app, I was
happy with the mood board and went with it.

When I knew that I would be attending Clariskin's Beauti(phi)losophy event - report soon - at Four Points, I chose to be a little dressy but not too much because I wanted to keep it simple and very "Oline"-ish. I couldn't be under-dressed, but not ready to be overdressed like socialites out there because I simply have no budget to do so. Heh. So a professional yet clean, sleek look was the best to go for!

I picked a
rather casual white shirt, with chiffon material for a more relaxed feeling
& look. Express Porfofino shirt is BAE. It’s very lightweight, airy, and
non-wrinkly. Super love! The only downside is that, I am a size 00/XXS in this
brand and it’s kinda hard to find great picks from them when shopping online ☹ I do have
this shirt in like, 3 more colors, but the White fits the best because it’s in
size XXS and the other ones are in size XS.

red lips make every smile 1000% more beautiful. trust me.

I got this
cute, mid-waist shorts from H&M in Carousell. Got it in a very good price!
A preloved with great condition. What I like the most is that the full-crochet
applique on the front side, it just spices up the plain white shorts
beautifully 😊

It’s well-structured
and the size is just perfect for me. Looks small, but I can fit my X-A1 camera
in it, along with girls’ stuff like phone, few makeup items, money and cards.

smile bright because the lighting, the place, the outfit is perfect! ;)

Finally, the
star of the show, my beige peep-toe heels from Aldo with crystal appliques on
the heels. DAMN CHIO!!

super snob i cant...

Plus my
red-lips, as seen in Priyanka Chopra on Emmy’s Night last year: Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in Rouge
Charnel. Aye, baby. A fellow asked me after the event about my lippy because it looked very bright, radiant, and beautiful. Aye baby, Chanel on duty. Best $43 spent in my life is always for Chanel lipsticks. They . never . disappoint .

Most pictures
in this post were taken by the one and only Ce Nessya. I love her capture so
much, thank you Ce for bearing with me! Le BF can’t bear with me asking him to
take pics so well…girls should really support another girl, right 😉 cause there
are things that can’t be handled 100% by boys.
